Lazio reject Icardi, Friedkin opens the door to Everton
Mauro Icardi, 33‑year‑old Argentinian striker, has been without a club since the end of last season, after leaving Galatasaray. Rejected by Gennaro Gattuso for his Lazio, the forward with more than 250 goals is now looking for a new club, with Friedkin of Everton at the front of the list.
English interest
Among the clubs that have shown interest is Everton. Last month rumors emerged about a possible move to Goodison Park, but the contacts had not produced an agreement. According to TyC Sports, England has reopened negotiations with Icardi’s entourage, driven by the need for a centre‑forward.
Tottenham have also moved to gather information on the Argentine’s situation, but so far there are no formal offers. The London side is assessing the possibility of joining the race, but has not committed yet.
Icardi remains one of the market’s luxury free agents, with a career that exceeds 250 goals. After parting ways with Galatasaray, his résumé as an experienced striker makes him attractive to several clubs.
The player is waiting for the right offer to start his next adventure, with the Premier League listed as one of the most likely destinations.
